Poems (E. L. F.)/Verses—"Oh! there are hearts that ne'er attune"
Appearance
VERSES.
Oh! there are hearts that ne'er attune In harmony with ours,Or wake in sweetest melody The memory of past hours.
'What other joys can ever fill That chaos of the heart,Where things that are, and things that were, In loneliness depart?
What misery to live and breathe With those who ne'er can knowDeep feelings that oppress the heart, Bow down the head with woe!
We feel, oh! doubly feel, the grief That others cannot share,And bitter, bitter is the grief Of thought-embosom'd care.
